About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in Sotogrande Marina, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor property offers direct terrace access to your own outdoor space, where the communal gardens and pool area lie just steps away. The main bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe alongside its en-suite bathroom, while the second bedroom also benefits from its own dedicated bathroom.
The 161sqm layout separates the kitchen from the living-dining room, which opens fully onto the terrace through wide doors. Both bedrooms feature en-suite facilities, and the master suite's walk-in wardrobe provides significant storage capacity. The terrace connects directly to the shared garden without steps or barriers, allowing immediate access to the pool. One parking space comes with the apartment.
Ribera del Paraíso sits within Sotogrande Marina, where the waterfront berths and sailing clubs line the harbour edge 400 metres from the complex. The marina's restaurant strip runs parallel to the moorings, and the nearest golf course lies 2 kilometres inland. Sotogrande's position on the Costa del Sol places it 30 minutes from Gibraltar Airport and 40 minutes from Marbella's western edge, with the A-7 coastal road providing direct access in both directions.

9 questions answered
Buying this apartment in Sotogrande Marina
Can foreigners buy property in Sotogrande Marina?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Sotogrande Marina. You will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) before signing the title deed, plus a Spanish bank account for the transfer. The full purchase typically completes 6 to 10 weeks from signing the reservation contract.
What is an NIE and how do I get one?
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is your Spanish tax ID and is mandatory for buying property, opening a bank account or paying taxes. You can apply at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person in Spain. Your lawyer can also obtain it on your behalf with a power of attorney, typically 2 to 4 weeks.
Do I need a Spanish lawyer?
Strongly recommended. An independent lawyer (abogado), separate from the agent and seller, verifies title, checks for debts and planning issues, drafts contracts and represents you at the notary. Typical fee is 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, with a minimum around €1,500.
How long does completion take?
From accepted offer to keys: 6 to 10 weeks for a resale, 30 to 45 days from reservation if no mortgage is needed. New-build off-plan completes when the development is delivered, often 18 to 36 months after reservation, with staged payments along the way.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Sotogrande Marina?
Resale property in Andalucía: ITP (transfer tax) at 7%. New-build: 10% IVA + 1.2% AJD (stamp duty). Plus notary, land registry and legal fees of roughly 1 to 2%. Budget 10 to 13% on top of the asking price for total acquisition costs.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
Annual IBI (council tax) is typically 0.4 to 1.1% of cadastral value. Community fees on apartments and gated villas range €100 to €600/month depending on amenities. Non-resident owners pay an annual income tax based on cadastral value, plus utilities and home insurance.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
In Spain the seller pays the agent commission (typically 3 to 6% + VAT), already baked into the asking price. Buyers do not pay agent fees on resale or new-build.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents at typical LTVs of 60 to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation (vs 80% for residents). Rates are competitive with the rest of the eurozone. You will need 6 months of bank statements, tax returns and proof of income, pre-approval takes 2 to 4 weeks.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
Recommended for serious buyers. A mortgage in principle confirms your budget, signals credibility to sellers and shortens completion. We can introduce you to specialist non-resident mortgage brokers familiar with the local market.
